Error message says that my system's virtual memory is too low.
Hello, I have increased the paging files such minimum and maximum values suggested by various sources of help and my computer seems to be running a little faster, but negligible so. I also understand that moreRAM will help, however, I have the maximum RAM my laptop can take internally (256 MB). Is there such a thing asexternal RAM I can get to increase my RAM? I work withWindows XP Home Edition and I understand that I need a minimum of 256 MBRAM for my virtual memory to be ok. Verification ofRAM to my system , I see that I have 256 MB of RAM (physical memory), however, only about 10 MB ofRAM (physical memory) is available for use (I got this information from thesystem information tool). I don't know what that means. Should I have 256 MB ofRAM available for use for my virtual memory to be ok? My hard drive is 20 GB but I have about 0,6 GB of free space, so I think I have anexternal hard drive in order to have more space. Can get an external hard drive to upgrade my RAM? Any help
very much appreciated. Tony.
Hi, I sympathise with your situation, but my answer may not be what you want here, even though I think you'll find credible and useful information (I have a degree in computer service technology (end of the 1980s, but I do not work in this area).)
How to increase virtual memory?
In Windows XP
1. on start and then click Control Panel.
2. click on performance and Maintenanceand then click System.
3. on the Advanced tab, under performance, click settings.
4. under the Advanced tab, under virtual memory, click on change.
5. under drive [Volume label], click the drive that contains the swap file that you want to change.
6. under paging file size for selected drive, click custom size check box. You can enter the amount of memory you wish to book for virtual memory by entering the initial and maximum size.
7. click on set
When you are prompted to restart the computer, click Yes.
Special note: You must choose the same amount for the initial size and maximum size. This will stop your CPU from the pagefile evolving.

Original title: MS Fax.
I try to read the incoming or outgoing faxes. A message says that my system doesn't have the ability to read (.) TIF files).
How to solve the problem?
Thank you
Alex
The 'Support' engineer's response is the dumbest answer I've seen in a long time.
At least as much as I understand your problem, you have no problems, send or receive faxes, but rather, you can not view the faxes that have been sent or received.
You need to get Windows Picture and Fax Viewer works again (or get a new app to view TIF files).
Click Start, then click Run, and then type the following in the "Open" box and click OK
regsvr32 shimgvw.dll
Don't forget the space after the 32
A dialog box should include the following:
"DllRegisterServer in SHIMGVW. DLL succeeded.
If it does not, type the following in the box 'open '.
regsvr32 %windir%\system32\shimgvw.dllAnd if that fails, go to C:\Windows\system32 and check that there is a file called shimgvw.dll (or does not).

Restore - error message says that the restoration was not
I tried to restore to a previous restore point, but an error message says that the restore has failed. That's happened? or the cause? or how to treat it?
Thanks in advance

This restore point is maybe damaged or defective. A few others try and see if you have the same problem. To do this, start safe mode and disable your software safety first - and then try to do from there. If the problem persists, after back and we'll do some general troubleshooting to try to find and fix the cause.

What can I do on my virtual memory is too low?
Windows keep saying its increasin the memory, but 2nite the warnin says "no virtual memory!" Please sumone can help me
Please provide additional information on your system:
What is your system brand and model?
What is your Version of XP and the Service Pack?
Describe your current antivirus and software anti malware situation: McAfee, Symantec, Norton, Spybot, AVG, Avira!, Defender, ZoneAlarm, PC Tools, MSE, Comodo, etc..
If you mean that you see a message like this:
Virtual memory minimum too low: your system is low on virtual memory. Windows is increasing the size of your virtual memory paging file.
This means that Windows XP is to let you know that he does his work. The message is not an error message - this is an informational message.
If XP thinks that the size of the swap file (usually c:\pagefile.sys) is too small to accommodate your day-to-day transactions to happen on it to enlarge and display this message.
Most of the time this means someone has been tampering with the swap file to try to solve another problem that usually has nothing to do with their paging file.
To see what your current, make settings right click my computer, properties, advanced, Performance settings, Advanced tab change button, virtual memory.
Unless learn you more about managing memory than Windows XP, you should let XP manage the size of your virtual memory paging file.
The best setting for the size of the paging file is usually going to be:
System managed size
Windows XP will attempt to affect a swap file approximately 1.5 times the total amount of RAM installed on your system. To manage the size of paging file Windows XP is enough for most configurations.
If yours is not set to the size of the managed system, you must determine how it changed and why (usually a bad reason), take note of the current settings, change the size of the managed system setting, click define and apply the changes (you will be asked to restart).
"Because someone told me to" is not a good reason to start just making adjustments to the size of pagefile. You must understand and fix it well - not just trying things. It may need adjustment, but you should at least try to know what you're doing and why you need to do it at all.
After making the settings, restart, then check the paging file settings again to ensure that they stick, then retest your system and see if you still get the messages.
If you still see the message, you must determine what applications you are running that consume a large part of the virtual memory that Windows XP keeps needing to adjust it.
Some antivirus applications are known to consume large amounts of virtual memory (as the Teatimer from Spybot - do you have installed?).
You can determine how the applications use virtual memory using the Task Manager.
To do this:
Click with the right button on the taskbar, choose Task Manager and select the processes tab.
Click View, select column, check the box that says: virtual memory size. Expand the height and the width of the Task Manager by dragging the edges to see if possible all the columns and the processes in a single window.
Double click on a column heading in TM to sort the column. For example, sort tasks in the column size CPU or virtual memory manager.
Here's what my poor Task Manager looks like:
http://img820.imageshack.us/img820/8817/taskmanagerk.PNG
On your system, what are the processes on top using the more virtual memory?
If you need another set of eyeballs on your parameters, describe the top 5 applications that see you in the Task Manager using virtual memory and then do this:
Click Start, run and enter in the box:
Msinfo32
Click on OK and when the system info summary appears, click on Edition, select all, copy, and then paste the results here.
There will be some personal information (such as the user name and the name of the system), and what appears to be personal information for you, simply delete the personal information of the pasted information.
This minimize back Q & A and eliminate the guesswork and assumptions.
Do, or do not. There is no test.
I need YOUR voice and the points for helpful answers and propose responses. I'm saving for a pony!
